Today's episode of Kumkum Bhagya starts with Abhi coming back home and falling due to overconsumption of alcohol. Disha runs to help him get up, chiding him for drinking more than he can handle. Under the effect of alcohol, Abhi talks nonsense and mutters things like Pragya's love gives happiness at first but turns unbearable later. On this, Disha asks Abhi whether he met Pragya and escorts him to his room.
On the other hand, King is pondering over Abhi and Pragya's relationship when the ringing of the doorbell breaks his thinking process. Just when King decides to approach Pragya for marriage, Pragya enters saying that she was caught in traffic jam. King begins to propose Pragya for marriage when they are interrupted midway by Neha who just then walks in and Pragya reveals that they had gone shopping since she had still not managed to get the bridal wear. After this, both go inside.
At Abhi's house, Disha asks him the reason behind drinking over his capacity to which a jilted Abhi says that he wants to live with Pragya and when she is not with him, he wants to commit suicide and die. Calling his hopes dangerous, Abhi reveals that since there is no remedy for his misery, he went to alcohol for rescue. When Abhi says that his heart and mind were at a war which he wants to end, Disha asks if anyone had said anything to him. Abhi tells that Pragya is going to marry King and bitterly wonders from where did that "joker" enter their lives. He shares how King had asked him to stay away from Pragya and Kiara and questions how King could put forth such a demand when he knows that Pragya is not his wife and Kiara is not his daughter. Not knowing what to do, Abhi breaks into tears and says that God has punished him thus, for not believing in Him. Seeing him cry, a torn Disha also breaks into tears. Abhi talks to Pragya's pic and cries further.
Back in King's house, Pragya assures Neha that chachi will hand over the shagun herself but when chachi hears Neha coming, she pretends to sleep. King, however, decides to wake chachi up as the ritual is important. They see her reflection in the mirror and realises that she is already awake but when King calls her, Pragya says that she will wake up in some time. Threatening to pour cold water on her, King starts the countdown when chachi hurriedly gets up, asking him not to throw water. She then asks Neha why she was there to which Neha answers that she had come to take the bridal clothes. Chachi hands over the clothes to her and says Tarun will make her wear the mangalsutra the next day. Saying this, she hands it over to Pragya, asking her to keep it safely. Pragya admires the mangalsutra and her thoughts lead her to Abhi. King breaks her daydreaming by asking if she liked it to which Pragya replies in the affirmative. King clicks the mangalsutra's picture and goes.
On the other side, Abhi expresses his wish to see Kiara calling him Papa but is instantly reminded that both Pragya and Kiara will not return to him and that he will be all alone. Abhi says that King feels that Tanu is Abhi's wife hence, he has no rights on Pragya. Abhi indignantly calls it no joke, saying it was the sacred relation of kumkum bhagya and questions King's proposal to marry Pragya, calling it a halwa. When Disha asks him if he intends to marry Pragya, Abhi says that King is already going to do that. Disha tells Abhi that they are already married and that he should not be worried as Pragya has not yet confirmed to him, her marriage intentions with King hence, until Pragya is ready for marriage, King can't force her. Disha encourages Abhi to marry Pragya and then reveal their bond to King who will then understand that he cannot do anything but she gets frustrated when she realises that Abhi is not listening to her given his drunk state.
Chachi, on the other hand, reveals to Tarun that whoever marries in that family gets mad hence, she wants him to not marry Neha. Chachi also expresses her suspicion at what she saw cooking between Abhi and Pragya and King and Aaliya. Tarun finds nothing wrong in that and goes away. Meanwhile, Disha tries her best to make Abhi agree into marrying Pragya when Abhi asks her if she has asked Pragya about the same.

The most common issue coming up in composer support at the moment is confusion about how stability is determined.
When I require package A:dev-master, which depends on B:dev-master, composer tells me that package B was not found.
The root package is the main composer.json file. It is the one in the same directory that you run composer install in. Many of the fields in composer.json are root-only, which means that they only have an effect if they are specified in the root package.
The root package is a context. Let's say you are depending on a package A. In the directory of your own package, your package is the root package. If you cd into the directory of A, then A is the root package.
Stability is determined by the root package, and the root package only. Let that sink in for a moment, and don't ever forget it.
Composer puts the decision of how stable your dependencies are in the hands of the user. As a user, you decide if you want to use dev, beta or stable releases.
The basis of this decision is the minimum-stability field in the root package. It's a root-only field. It defines a default value for stability flags and acts as a lower bound.
It's a ruler that you can pull down. By default only shows "stable", but you can pull down and reveal the lower stability flags.
minimum-stability defines the default stability flag for all constraints.
So let's think of a scenario where the root package requires package A:dev- master, which in turn requires B:dev-master.
Determine minimum-stability: In this case the field is not defined, so it is set to the default value, which is "stable".
It sees that A has a constraint for version dev-master. Due to the dev- prefix, this is known to be a dev version, and dev versions have "dev" stability. Because this constraint for a dev version is defined in the root package, it implicitly gets the @dev stability flag.
Since A has a constraint of A:dev-master@dev, this version matches and composer follows the link. It sees that A has a dependency on B with a constraint of dev-master. This has a dev- prefix, so it has a stability of "dev".
However, since the constraint is defined in package A and not the root package, it does not implicitly get the @dev stability flag. Instead it inherits the minimum-stability which is "stable". So the resolved constraint is B:dev-master@stable.
At this point it will fail, because B:dev-master@stable does not resolve to anything. It will tell you that it cannot find a package B within the stability range you provided.
One way to fix the problem would be to just lower your minimum-stability down to "dev". But that's usually a really bad idea, because it applies to all constraints and as a result you will get unstable versions of all packages.
So please, don't do that.
A flag is defined as part of a version constraint. Since stability is determined by the root package only, flags are also root-only. Flags defined in dependent packages are simply ignored.
Note that I did not define an actual version in the root package. This means that the root package does not care which version of B is installed, it delegates that decision to A, which has a more specific constraint.
The benefit is that if A decides to change its dependency on B from dev-master to ~1.0 or anything else, the root package will not need any changes.
Hopefully this gives you a better understanding of how composer determines stability and how you can use stability flags to get those unstable versions.
Remember though: Most likely the reason why you need those stability flags is because the maintainers of your dependencies did not tag stable releases. You should go and annoy them right now so they add branch-aliases and tag releases. And as soon as they do, you can nuke those stability flags and be happy again.

Google's Fighting France on the Right to Be Forgotten
The greatest trick you can pull is convincing the Internet you never existed.
Surely there were a few corks being popped over in Europe last year when the European Court of Justice ruled its people had a right to be forgotten online. But now Google is refusing a French order to apply that ruling globally, and the Champagne of victory has gone flat.
Under the ruling, Europeans can petition search engines like Google and Bing to delete anything that shows up under their name they believe to be outdated, irrelevant, or inflammatory.
Google agreed, but so far has only edited search results for European sites like Germany's Google.de or France's Google.fr. The company argues that 95 percent of all searches in Europe are done using local versions of the site, but it does feel like it defeats the purpose of the court order if all someone has to do is tweak the URL to find those pictures from your summer abroad that creepy guy from the youth hostel still has on his Xanga page.
Reuters reports Google could be hit with "small fines" if it persists, but that hardly sounds threatening. It's one more twist in the lost Rod Serling screenplay of corporations feuding with governments over how much we all live in public.

A development threat to the wild lands surrounding Glacier National Park is more than just a danger to the environment. It is an attack on a place of irreplaceable cultural significance. One area resident and NPCA staffer reflects on why the Badger-Two Medicine area is so special—and how he is working to protect it.
Update: As of January 20, 2017, the Department of the Interior negotiated cancellations of all oil and gas leases in the Badger-Two Medicine, protecting this culturally significant area adjacent to Glacier National Park.
Fifteen years ago, while lightning crackled through sheets of rain, my son was born in the loft of a log cabin on the wild western fringe of Glacier National Park.
A decade later, in the clear crisp of autumn, we took up shovels to fulfill the last wishes of a dear friend, laying her to rest in those same untamed borderlands just beyond the park's boundary.
In between were the weddings and anniversaries, reunions and holidays. A grizzly in the woodshed on Halloween night. The howl of wolves. Elk in the garden. Alpenglow painting peaks beyond the kitchen window.
I've been walking those boundary mountains again this fall, hauling in firewood and gathering mushrooms while the dog flushes grouse from trail's edge. And after 30 years of this seasonal cycle, I've started wondering just what it is that makes this place so special.
For me, of course, there's the weight of years, the accumulation of moments, the slow-growing roots that make a house a home. We all have those special places—private sanctuaries made pure by the living of life.
As if this perfection of wild nature could be improved on.
I have only known this western margin of Glacier National Park for 30 years, didn't find it until I was 20, so this is not my people's home. Despite my deep connection to here, I have no generations weighing on me.
So imagine how relentlessly I might fight to protect a place if, instead of 30 years, I had experienced untold millennia of connection to the land—not an individual's roots, but an entire culture's foundation.
Over on Glacier's eastern margins, the sacred runs far deeper and is marked by the milestones not of a single lifetime but of an entire society. There, in a place known as the Badger-Two Medicine, are the cultural headwaters of the Blackfeet Nation.
The 160,000-acre region is named for the two rivers flowing cold and clear from its mountain heights. Surrounded by Glacier National Park, the Bob Marshall Wilderness, and the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, it is a wildland corridor linking ancient migration routes along the spine of Montana's Rocky Mountains, with room to roam for bears and bison, wolves and wolverines.
This is Glacier's wild back porch, and an irrevocable stronghold of Blackfeet religion. It is a world-class natural and cultural heritage without equal, known to the Blackfeet as the "Backbone of the World." It is the source of their origin stories, a land marking boundless births and battles and burial grounds, the place they were given the holy Sun Dance. This is, quite literally, sacred ground.
It is also, unfortunately, the place where industry would like to drill for oil and gas, and has recently sued for the right to do so.
Oil and gas leasing is no longer allowed in the Badger-Two Medicine. Nor are roads or dirt bikes or snowmobiles. The entire region has been designated a Traditional Cultural District under the National Historic Preservation Act. And many, many companies have voluntarily relinquished their old leases, declaring the Badger-Two Medicine too extraordinary to drill.
Even today, a handful of companies persist, refusing offers to buy their historic holdings or swap them for leases in other, less sensitive areas. The Blackfeet, in turn, have declined to transform the center of their spiritual universe into an industrial zone. It is just too special.
If we cannot protect this tremendous untamed habitat—this profound and sacred space connecting its inhabitants with centuries of ancestors—then what place can we protect? Where can we possibly hope to make a stand?
I took my job with the National Parks Conservation Association in part because I needed the tremendous strength and wisdom of the organization to help protect my own backyard. And we have done that—we have protected Glacier Park's western wild lands. Now, it is time to do the same on its eastern front.
And so I have left my fall foraging to join the Blackfeet, asking federal land managers to cancel all remaining Badger-Two Medicine leases. My NPCA colleagues have made similar requests, in similarly important landscapes, all across our continent. They are pushing back against oil wells abutting Arches National Park, high voltage power lines arcing over the historic landscape of Jamestown, and a mega-mall—yes, a mega-mall—at the Grand Canyon's southern gateway.
We all have our own special places and, like the Blackfeet, we also have shared cultural places. We don't call them sacred lands. Instead, we call them national parks.
Arches, Colonial National Historical Park, Grand Canyon. Wells, power lines, malls. Similar avarice threatens Mojave, Yosemite, and Grand Teton. It endangers the coral reefs of Biscayne and the bison of Yellowstone.
Each of these parks—on NPCA's list of Parks in Peril—is a place that has proved the power to shape us, rather than be shaped by us, and that, finally, is what makes an special place exceptional enough to protect.
America's parks are about as close as nature gets to the sacred. And it is our collective relationship with these places—the countless intimate and individual experiences that intersect and merge to forge powerful cultural connections—that must move us to act on their behalf.
The perils are too great, and these places are too worthy—too special to all of us—to lose.

NOTE: We have entered a new era in screen ratings. Nielsen is expanding its sample of TV viewers to include new homes with meters that record the channel being watched — but not the demographics of the people watching. That will be estimated using data modeling and an algorithm Nielsen has developed, and added to the current sample that does include people meters that measure demos. The Panel Expansion (NPX), in which 12,900 households have been added to the national sample, is at the center of this change. The household ratings in these homes are measured by meters on each television in the home, while the demographic ratings in these homes will be assigned by Nielsen using a statistical algorithm. This is the first time since 1987 that homes in the national sample are not equipped with PeopleMeters, which measure both the program viewed and the people watching it.

WRAL in Raleigh, NC Switches From CBS To NBC
After a 30-year partnership with CBS, WRAL plans to change its network affiliation at the end of February. WRAL will become an NBC affiliate on Feb. 29. "We've been a CBS affiliate for more than 30 years. We've enjoyed a strong relationship with CBS News over the years," WRAL-TV Vice President and General Manager Steve Hammel said in a statement. "Change brings opportunity. I have great confidence in our team to establish WRAL-TV as a dominant NBC affiliate." WRAL-TV first went on the air in 1956 as an NBC affiliate. The station signed on with the up-and-coming ABC Network in 1962. That relationship lasted until 1985, when the station became an affiliate of the CBS Television Network. In 2015, WRAL-TV was the No. 1 CBS affiliate sign on to sign off in the top 25 markets.
What Prompts Smartphone Users to Download Apps & Why Do They Delete Them?
Roughly one-third of smartphone users replace apps on their device at least a few times a week, and around half (52%) do so at least once a month, according to a new report from Yahoo. The report separately indicates that most applications have been deleted by the 3 month mark post-download if they're not being used, while almost one-third are deleted in 1 week or less. The survey was fielded among 2,590 smartphone users aged 13-64 in the US. Some 29% of the respondents reported being smartphone dominant (users who spend most of their time on their smartphones, and are using them to replace their PCs), with the remainder expecting to be smartphone dominant in the future.
On average, apps lie dormant for 12 weeks prior to being deleted, per the results, with content apps being the quickest to churn (11 weeks) and travel being among those taking slightly longer (13 weeks). The top reason given for deleting an app is:
► non-use (stopping using the app; 55%), though many also pointed to having
► found a better or more useful app (53%),
► having become bored of the app (52%),
► the presence of too many ads (46%) and
► lack of storage or memory (45%).
That last point is interesting in light of other data in the study suggesting that storage concerns play a large role as an app deletion trigger. And in a recently-released survey from Quixey, mobile device owners said that the storage space taken up is what they like the least about apps.
The study comments that "app replacement is what is driving app downloads," and data from the report certainly suggests that replacement is one of the triggers behind downloads. Indeed, 6 in 10 respondents said that frustration or dissatisfaction with the current version of an app is a general prompt for downloading a new app. However, that was outweighed by numerous other prompts, including:
► Looking for something new/bored – 80%;
► Personal recommendation – 74%;
► Kids – 70%;
► Mobile browser not being sufficient – 68%; and
► Needing an app to make the shopping experience better – 65%.
It's notable that personal recommendations rank highly, as previous research from Google and Ipsos has indicated that word-of-mouth is a key driver of smartphone app discovery and a leading reason why users download apps. Interestingly, while ads fell slightly further down the list of prompts, a slight majority of respondents to the Yahoo survey reported that ads prompt them to download apps. Similarly, around half said that online ads would restart their usage of a dormant app, a figure close to the 52% who said that a recommendation from family, friends or colleagues would do the same.
Meanwhile, another trigger for downloads is the app store, where respondents said they're as likely to conduct a broad search for a category as they are to go directly to the app they're looking for. Not surprisingly, reviews and ratings are important factors when users search within the app store, and negative reviews emerged as the leading reason given for not installing an app on a smartphone. The next-most common reason for not installing an app? Not having enough storage on the phone.
Migrating Millennials Will Change The Retail Landscape
By the year 2020, the retail and manufacturer landscape will undoubtedly change. But despite the myriad ways trends could shift, one thing will become increasingly salient for retailers: They need to pay attention to Millennials. That is because not only does this generation now account for about one-quarter of the U.S. population, its buying power will grow as these consumers get older. So as members of this group mature into a main consumer group, retailers and manufacturers alike will need to account for their needs, buying preferences, changing geographic locations and increasing spending power. Nielsen projects that U.S. consumer spending will hit $5.7 billion by 2020 in retail and on-premise eating and drinking locations. That's a figure retailers and manufacturers should be focused on if they're interested in claiming a piece of that growth. And the first step is knowing where to find it – and that means finding Millennials.
When it comes to tracking Millennials down, many seem poised to make a move in the near term. In fact, only 25% of Millennial respondents to a 2015 Nielsen survey said they plan to live in the same area they live in now over the next five years. That means 75% of up-and-coming spenders plan to relocate, mainly to large cities and college towns. As Millennials age, like previous generations, they'll seek refuge in the suburbs with homes of their own. The Demand Institute's "Tale of 2,000 Cities" study forecasts home prices in the large metropolitan areas could increase up to 33% above 2012 prices. This increase in home value will likely be driven by Millennials as they seek to put down roots.
To market to these rapidly growing cities, retailers and manufacturers will also need to focus on future food consumption habits. For example, it may seem like restaurants have cornered the out-of-home food game, but grocery stores are already beginning to respond to this trend with their own offering, the "grocerant." Offering more than just your typical hot and salad bar, grocerants span the dining gambit, featuring everything from prepared meals to eat-on-the-go to in-store dining with a particular ethnic food slant. According to the Food Marketing Institute's 2015 Grocery Shopper Trend Study, 34% of survey respondents find retail grab-and-go even easier than going to a restaurant.
Millennials will be on the move by 2020, both with their home location and their busy schedules. In order for retailers and manufactures to capture the rise of Gen Y, they'll need to look for solutions that satisfy their need for convenience and locality.
By the way, 64% of millennials planned to see the new 'Star War's' movie. That is above the 59% of U.S. movie watchers who planned to see the new Star War's movie.
Half of Americans Can't Afford A Major Purchase Right Now
Some 48% of American adults surveyed throughout 2015 believe they would be unable to right now make a major purchase, such as a car, appliance or furniture, or pay for a significant home repair if they needed to. That's according to a Gallup analysis of daily tracking poll data, which finds that the threshold household income level for being able to afford a major purchase is around $48,000. Even so, 7 in 10 adults say they have enough money to buy the things they need, and that includes almost half (49%) of those in households with income of $12-24k. Indeed, almost 6 in 10 adults in the $24-36k income band say they have enough money to buy the things they need. Finally, a majority (60%) of adults surveyed during the year said they are cutting back on how much money they spend each week. That figures includes a majority of respondents in all income bands up to $120k per year, although a sizable 37% of those with $240k or more in household income also report cutting back on their weekly spending.
US Media Universe Across Devices 2016
Traditional TV (live + DVR/time-shifted TV) and AM/FM radio continue to have the widest monthly reach of any media among Americans, reports Nielsen in its latest look at the media universe. While the timing of the report doesn't provide for direct year-over-year comparisons to last year's installment, there are some trends to be found from the latest release.
TV Screen
A comparison of this latest report's data with the previous edition indicates that the monthly traditional TV audience of 282 million (during Q3 2015) is down from 285 million during Q4 2014. Also on the TV screen, the latest figures show that, during that time period:
⦿ The number of Americans viewing DVR/time-shifted TV remained steady at 181 million;
⦿ The number using a DVD or Blu-Ray player dropped by 17 million to 125 million;
⦿ The number using a game console declined by 7 million, to 90 million; but
⦿ The number using a multimedia device surged by 23 million, to 66 million (a more than 50% gain).
While research shows that online radio's reach continues to grow, AM/FM radio's audience remains largely steady, averaging 259 million monthly for the year-long period ending in mid-June 2015, compared to 258 million for the year-long period ending in mid-September 2014.
Smartphones & Computers
The latest figures show a narrowing of the gap in internet access on PCs versus smartphones:
⦿ During Q3 2015, 182 million used the internet on a PC on at least a monthly basis, down from 198 million during Q4 2014; while
⦿ 176 million used apps or the web on a smartphone, up from 164 million.
As such, the audience gap between PC and smartphone internet use narrowed from 34 million in Q4 2014 to just 6 million in Q3 2015.
The shift from PCs to smartphones is evident in the video viewing audience, too. Indeed, Nielsen's figures show that more Americans now watch video on a smartphone than do so on a PC. Specifically, in Q3 2015:
⦿ 133 million Americans watched video on a smartphone on at least a monthly basis, up 11 million from Q4 2014; while
⦿ 127 million watched video on a PC, down 19 million from Q4 2014.
This year's social media figures combine app and mobile web use (where they were separated last year), such that direct comparisons can't be made to last year's report. Nevertheless, the latest figures show that social media has a larger monthly audience on smartphones than on PCs:
⦿ 169 million accessed social media via app or web on a smartphone during Q3 2015; versus
⦿ 115 million who accessed social media on a PC (down 18 million from Q4 2014).

Home सिनेमा देश Home Ministry launches pan-India single emergency helpline number '112'
Home Ministry launches pan-India single emergency helpline number '112'
Sixteen states and Union territories Tuesday joined a pan-India network of single emergency helpline number '112' on which immediate assistance can be sought by anyone in distress.
The 112 helpline is an integration of police (100), fire (101) and women (1090) helpline numbers. The health helpline (108) will be integrated with it soon.
Launching the '112' helpline, under the Emergency Response Support System (ERSS), Home Minister Rajnath Singh said the central government is committed to the safety of citizens, particularly women, for whom laws were changed to ensure the guilty are punished in a time-bound manner.
"The helpline number '112' will be activated across the country by next year and anyone in distress can reach the helpline by pressing a single key of phones which will be pre-programmed," he said.
The 16 states and UTs are Andhra Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Puducherry, Lakshadweep, Andaman, Dadar and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu, Jammu and Kashmir.
The '112' helpline has already been launched in Himachal Pradesh and Nagaland.
To access emergency services, a person can dial '112' on a phone or press the power button of a smartphone three times quickly to send a panic call to the Emergency Response Centre.
In case of a normal phone, a long press of the '5' or '9' key will activate the panic call.
People can also log onto the ERSS website for the respective state and send an emergency email or SOS alert to state ERC. They can use the '112' India mobile app, which is available free on the Google Play Store and Apple Store.
The single number for emergency services is similar to '911' in the United States.
Apart from launching the ERSS, the home minister also kicked off, the Investigation Tracking System for Sexual Offences (ITSSO) and the safe city implementation monitoring portal.
The ITSSO is meant for law enforcement agencies in the country.
The system is an online module available to law enforcement agencies at all levels national, state, district, and police station and allows the state to undertake real-time monitoring and management for completion of investigation in rape cases in two months.
It leverages the existing CCTNS database, which covers nearly 15,000 police stations in the country.
The ITSSO would greatly strengthen the ability of states for analytics and prognosis for timely investigation and prosecution in rape cases.
The home minister said safe city implementation monitoring portal will instill a sense of security in women in metro cities.
"The government has identified eight cities for implementation of safe city projects in the first phase at a cost of Rs 2,919 crore. The cities are Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow and Mumbai. The projects are funded under the Nirbhaya Fund scheme," he said.

Q: PreloadJS - Loading an image from a URL without file format I'm trying to use PreloadJS to load an image. I took the getting started code from http://www.createjs.com/getting-started so,
function loadImage() {
  var preload = new createjs.LoadQueue();
  preload.addEventListener("fileload", handleFileComplete);
  preload.loadFile("assets/preloadjs-bg-center.png");
}
function handleFileComplete(event) {
  document.body.appendChild(event.result);
}

Which works great, but changing the URL to a custom one doesn't play so nice:
  preload.loadFile("http://localhost:3000/URLthatReturnsAnImageWithoutFileType");

I'm unable to render the image. I'm guessing the loadFile function parses the file type in the provided URL string. Is there a way to tell PreloadJS the provided asset is indeed an image and render it?

A: According to LoadQueue's documentation, the file type of an item is determined by it's file extension. If it doesn't have an extension, then you can pass in a type property:
      preload.loadFile({src:"hello", type:createjs.AbstractLoader.IMAGE});

Bryson DeChambeau is embarking on his professional career as a golfer, but he has already achieved so much.
The American may only be playing in his first event this weekend as a professional but he has already been around the block and picked up many titles.
DeChambeau collected six titles during his amateur career including the 2010 California state junior championship, the 2013 Trans-Mississippi amateur, the 2014 American championship, Erin Hills intercollegiate and the 2015 NCAA I Championship or otherwise known as the U.S. Amateur. He became only the fifth player in history to win the NCAA and the U.S Amateur in the same year. Only Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson and Ryan Moore have done the same.
The 22-year-old, or known alternatively to some people as, the scientist of golf, unusually all of DeChambeau's irons and wedges are cut to exactly the same length, 37.5 inches. Their lie and bounce angle are also the same. Only the lofts are different.
DeChambeau made his PGA Tour debut in June 2015 at the FedEx St. Jude Classic, making the cut and finishing in 45th place. He played in his first major championship at the 2015 US Open, missing the cut.
The young American has also played on the European Tour this season playing in Abu Dhabi, Qatar, and Dubai.
The most memorable finish the man from California has was finishing in T26th place at Augusta in 2016, winning the low amateur award.
The week after DeChambeau turned professional at the RBC Heritage Open and signed his first professional contract with Puma-Cobra and Bridgestone.
The decision to turn professional means he forfeited his exemptions to the 2016 U.S. Open and 2016 Open Championship and will even have to play off sponsors invites on regular PGA Tour events until he wins his card or first event as a professional.

An Introduction to Grappa 02:14
Brynn Smith
Develop an appreciation for this punchy Italian liqueur by learning about its origins, production process, and flavor nuances.
1. Grappa comes from the distillation of the leftover skin, seeds, and stems of grapes that have been made into wine. Most grappas are made from just one type of grape, but there are some that use multiple varietals. 00:06
2. Some contemporary grappas are aged in barrels, so that the flavor of the wood can be infused into the liquor. 00:30
3. Grappa is often referred to as "firewater" because of it potent flavor and high alcohol content. The liquor can be consumed straight, or paired with other ingredients for a cocktail. Bryan recommends using Grappa is a citrus cocktail, as the flavors balance each other. 00:49
4. Jacopo Poli Chiara di Moscato is a sweet grappa that has subtle fruity and citrus flavor notes. Mazzetti is made from Barbera grapes, giving it a more robust flavor. Nonino lo Chardonnay has been aged for 8 to 10 months, and has a distinct golden hue. 01:22
- Grappa
Grappa is an Italian alcohol which is made by distilling pomace, the leftovers of winemaking. Pomace often including grape seeds, skins, stalks, stems, and leaves. The name itself is a reference to this process, as it means "grape stems" in an Italian dialect.
Grappa typically contains an alcohol content ranging from 35 to 70 percent.
There are two types of grappa. "Grappa bianca" is a clear grappa that is bottled after it is distilled. "Grappa riserva" is an amber-hued grappa that is put into barrels for aging after it is distilled.
The name "grappa" is protected by the European Union law to ensure that it can only be produced in Italy.
Traditionally, grappa is served either at room temperature or chilled in small glasses and served after the meal, as the Italians believe that it aids digestion. Grappa can also be consumed as a cocktail, or added to espresso to make a drink called a caffè coretto (corrected coffee).

This thread hits the spot – almost. I'm stil worried about water.
Joe you got it, "plant a seed and love it and it will treat you right". Watching the olive trees flower is better than TV!
But I was watching Harare in Zimbabwe on the news this morning. They've got cholera, cut off the water in Harare, now there are riots… I'm going to get back into meditation and all that spiritual stuff so I don't die of a heart attack when the people around me here start rioting, because they will. One man, being interviewd in Harare, said "a hungry man is an angry man", and when I last visited in the township some of the people there said the same thing. Its an old Bob Marley lyric (them belly full but me hungry, a hungry man is an angry man), and is becoming a mantra. I've read too that in times like these we're heading into that starving people will stone people who appear well fed.. because they obviously have a private stash.
I know this is terrifying, but I'm not anticipating starving to death peacefully. Just got to keep a cool head and open heart.
yep… what he said.
…"expect Japan to be forced to sell ever more of its huge pile of existing foreign reserves. You ain't seen nothing yet when it comes to credit contraction, we're only just beginning. And when credit contracts, so do exports. With that in mind, it's easy to tick off the victims: the countries that rely most on customers abroad. No. 1 on that list must be China, where 2009 will be a year of ugliness, in many shapes and forms.
My 4-year old prediction of civil war in China by 2015 may have to be moved up yet again. If China's economic growth goes down to 5%, the economy and the political system are going going gone and out of here. These newly built export economies are just too vulnerable, no resilience. Put Russia down as a close second, and reserve a space right behind for many developing countries. Other, more established, export powers to meet the hammer are for instance Germany, Holland,
Brazil, Austria, Belgium and Australia. Job losses will be staggering, and I don't see any of these places seriously preparing
for it. It's all blind growth religion. They should all take a good look at the Baltic Dry Shipping Index, which is approaching 600, from 200.000+ a few months ago. That, my friends, spells bleak and empty shelves coming to a place near you. Around January 20."…

Re: yep… what he said.
We are already seeing a lot of Chinese workers rioting on Asian television. Factories are closing and unemployment is rising fast. A lot of people are angry at the government for letting this happen, and are not informed about the big economic picture, just the basic local picture of a factory closing.
Of course, your talking about a country that after the major earthquake they had, hundreds of mothers who lost children in the poorly built schools from collapse, were beaten down hard by police outside the government office in charge of regulating the building codes, little codes that they have.
Hey Joe2baba, I think they need unions in China! Maybe we can send the Big 3 Auto CEO's over to help them out, and leave them in China forever. And also the UAW leaders should be sent as well.

collective bargaining would go a long way to raising the standard of living in china.
osha would make jobs much safer, the epa would keep melamine out of baby formula (by the way how is the baby?)
the epa would also make the coal plants sequester the carbon emissions.
or in the world you and matrix imagine this will all happen automatically because we are all doing jobs we like and there is no money.
just think about the chinese worker making $75 an hour. jeez our balance of payments would actually balance.
by the way how does one boss and ten mexicans figure into utopia?
stop by the local coffee shops and get all their coffee grounds. it will help loosen the clay soil. dont know if you have a limestone quarry near by but the ones here sell ag lime is is ground up pretty fine helps with ph and loosening soil.
an acre is a lot to grow on. you can produce a huge amount. find someone with a woodlot and trade for wood. make your house super efficient and you wont need a whole lot.
way to go woodman
Mexican Revenge
Well so far the baby is melamine free, LOL. We use a lot of American formula based goods here, but I am reading it's made it's way into American products as well. Actually, it's Matrix's idea, we are just adding the pro's and con's. I never said it would work or not.
As for the Mexicans, as punishment, the boss goes to the dirty jobs for a year for taking advantage of the poor Mexicans.
Re: Mexican Revenge
ok you can be king and make the rules.
i trust you …………………will you still respect me in the morning, is the check in the mail …….etc.
No, not King. Maybe a Warlord or General, but never King.

This is a large scale worm farm, (vermicomposting) something I am doing now on a much smaller scale, and without the cows. It's very possible for you to raise your own worms, even to the point of breeding & selling the worms, the castings, and the compost tea.
Beginning with one thousand sexuallymature adult redworms, and including their offspring, and their offspring's offspring, etc., it is possible to produce over one million red worms in one year. (By the end of the second year, the total would be over one billion.) Redworms currently sell for about $25.00 per pound
And the award season begins... Yay Canada!

Nissan Dealers To Get Wireless Access to Customer Data
Anyone who has ever bought a new car knows that salespeople like to cruise the lot, looking to help customers, but the salespeople must sit down at their desk to pull up the information needed to start the purchase process. But not for much longer.
Soon Nissan and Infinity dealers will be able to access Nissan's customer resource management information directly from the show floor over two-way pagers, according to Ted Ross, a corporate marketing manager for Nissan North America Inc., in Gardena, Calif. "Our retailers work best when they're on their feet, and not chained to a desk," says Ross. "We might have the best information in the world, but they have to go to their desk to access it, and that's inconsistent with how they do business."
Because Nissan's CRM system is entirely on the E.piphany Inc. platform, says Ross, the car giant's wireless effort is being enabled by three new means of wireless access to E.piphany's E.5 CRM platform, which was launched in July. E.piphany is now shipping its Real-Time Personalization for Wireless, which makes it possible for customers to receive personalized marketing offers and recommendations on microbrowser-enabled devices. And on Oct. 13, the company will release the E.piphany Wireless Dashboard application, which will enable employees to wirelessly access a company's information on E.5, as well as the E.piphany Wireless Service Portal.
E.piphany is providing the wireless access links to E.5 customers at no additional charge, but some changes to company information will be necessary to render data in a standard format, according to Brad Wilson, product marketing director for E.piphany Inc., in San Mateo, Calif.
"As long as you have a microbrowser that deals with HTML 3.2, we can format to that," says Wilson. Nissan is using two-way pagers to provide customer leads to 150 Infinity dealers, a branch of Nissan, but intends to roll out the full wireless access to the E.piphany CRM system to 1,100 Nissan retailers within the next six months. That will open the door to a variety of services, including enabling them to check a customer's history or offer special deals based on their financial situation, says Ross.
Ross says, "Their ability to utilize day-to-day wireless technology will significantly change and improve our ability to provide them with information on the fly."

Death of Son Reinforces Flu Vaccination Message
Written by Damian McNamara, MA
Oct. 4, 2022 – Brent called his dad, Jeb Teichman, MD, in November 2019 saying he had felt sick for the past 3 days. The otherwise healthy 29-year-old had a cough, sore throat, and was running a fever.
"It was what the CDC would call classic influenza-like illness," Jeb Teichman said. "It was too late to start antivirals, so I gave him advice on symptomatic treatment. We texted the next day, and I was glad to hear that his fever was trending down and that he was feeling a little bit better."
Two days later, his son called again.
"He said he was having trouble breathing, and over the phone I could hear him hyperventilating." The retired pediatrician and health care executive told his son to seek medical care.
"Then I got the call that no parent wants to get."
Brent's cousin Jake called saying he couldn't wake Brent up.
"I called Jake back a few minutes later and asked him to hold up the phone," Teichman said. "I listened to EMS working on my son, calling for round after round of many medications. He was in arrest and they couldn't revive him."
"To this day when I close my eyes at night, I still hear the beeping of those monitors."
Brent had no health conditions to put him at higher risk for complications of the flu. "Brent was a wonderful son, brother, uncle, and friend. He had a passion for everything he did, and that included his chosen calling of the culinary arts but also included University of Kentucky sports," Teichman says.
Brent planned to get a flu vaccine but had not done it yet. "In his obituary, we requested that in lieu of flowers or donations, people go get their flu shot," his father said.
"I'm here today to put a face on influenza," Teichman said at a news briefing Tuesday on preventing the flu and pneumococcal disease, sponsored by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID).
New Survey Numbers 'Alarming'
The NFID commissioned a national survey of more than 1,000 U.S. adults to better understand their knowledge and attitudes about the flu, pneumococcal disease, vaccines, and the impact of COVID-19.
"We were alarmed to learn that only 49% of U.S. adults plan to get their flu vaccine this season," said Patricia A. "Patsy" Stinchfield, a registered nurse, NFID president, and moderator of the news briefing. "That is not good enough."
In addition, 22% of people at higher risk for flu-related complications do not plan to get vaccinated this season. "That's a dangerous risk to take," Stinchfield said.
An encouraging finding, she said, is that 69% of adults surveyed recognize that an annual flu vaccination is the best way to prevent flu-related hospitalizations and death.
"So, most people know what to do. We just need to do it," she said.
The top reason for not getting a flu shot this year, mentioned by 41% of people surveyed, is they do not think vaccines work very well. Another 39% are concerned about vaccine side effects, and 28% skip the vaccine because they "never get the flu."
The experts on the panel emphasized the recommendation that all Americans 6 months or older get the flu vaccine, preferably by the end of October. Vaccination is especially important for those at higher risk of complications from the flu, including children under 5, pregnant women, people with one or more health conditions, the immunocompromised, and Americans 65 years and older.
Stinchfield acknowledges that the effectiveness of the flu vaccine varies season to season, but even if the vaccine does not completely match the circulating viruses, it can help prevent serious outcomes like hospitalization and death. One of the serious potential complications is pneumonia or "pneumococcal disease."
"Our survey shows that only 29% of those at risk have been advised to receive a pneumococcal vaccine," Stinchfield says.
"The good news is that among those who were advised to get the vaccine, 74% did receive their pneumococcal vaccine," she said. "This underscores a key point to you, my fellow clinicians: As health professionals, our recommendations matter."
Higher Doses for 65+ Americans
The CDC updated recommendations this flu season for adults 65 and older to receive one of three preferentially recommended flu vaccines, said CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, MD. The CDC is recommending higher-dose, stronger vaccines for older Americans "based on a review of the available studies, which suggested that in this age group, these vaccines are potentially more effective than standard-dose … vaccines."
During most seasons, people 65 and older bear the greatest burden of severe flu disease, accounting for most flu-related hospitalizations and deaths.
"They are the largest vulnerable segment of our society," Walensky said.
What Will This Flu Season Be Like?
Health officials in the flu vaccine business also tend to be in the flu season prediction business. That includes Walensky.
"While we will never exactly know what each flu season will hold, we do know that every year, the best way you can protect yourself and those around you is to get your annual flu vaccine," she said while taking part remotely in the briefing.
How severe will the flu season be this year? William Schaffner, MD, said he gets that question a lot. "Don't think about that. Just focus on the fact that flu will be with us each year."
"We were a little bit spoiled. We've had two mild influenza seasons," said Schaffner, medical director of NFID and a professor of infectious diseases and preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University. "I think with all the interest in COVID, people have rather forgotten about influenza. I've had to remind them that this is yet another serious winter respiratory virus."
"As I like to say, flu is fickle. It's difficult to predict how serious this next outbreak of influenza this season is going to be. We could look at what happened in the Southern Hemisphere," he said.
For example, Australia had the worst influenza season in the past 5 years, Schaffner said. "If you want a hint of what might happen here and you want yet another reason to be vaccinated, there it is."
What we do know, Walensky said, is that the timing and severity of the past two flu seasons in the U.S. have been different than typical flu seasons. "And this is likely due to the COVID mitigation measures and other changes in circulating respiratory viruses." Also, although last flu season was "relatively mild," there was more flu activity than in the prior, 2020-21 season.
Also, Walensky said, last season's flu cases began to increase in November and remained elevated until mid-June, "making it the latest season on record."
The official cause of Brent Teichman's death was multilobar pneumonia, cause undetermined. "But after 30-plus years as a pediatrician … I know influenza when I see it," his dad said.
"There's a hole in our hearts that will never heal. Loss of a child is devastating," he said. The flu "can take the life of a healthy young person, as it did to my son."
"And for all those listening to my story who are vaccine hesitant, do it for those who love you. So that they won't walk the path that we and many other families in this country have walked."
To prove their point, Teichman and Stinchfield raised their sleeves Tuesday and received flu shots during the news briefing.
"This one is for Brent," Teichman said.

Quitting Smoking Timeline: What to Expect When You Quit Tobacco
Smoking's Impact on the Brain
As Neuroscience advances its knowledge of smoking's impact on the central nervous system, it also finds the use of NRTs (nicotine replacement therapies) a viable option.
The smoking of tobacco products carries with it a myriad of adverse health complications and risks. One of the most significant areas in regards to these risks falls in the field of neuroscience. In addition to the host of disorders associated with the human body when it comes to smoking cigarettes, smoking's effect on the central nervous system bears some of the most profound impacts.
Cigarettes act as a stimulant to the central nervous system. It profoundly affects the neurotransmitters acetylcholine, serotonin, GABA, dopamine, norepinephrine, and more. Out of the approximate 600 chemicals found in tobacco cigarettes, nearly 100 have been documented to have pharmacological effects on the human body, more specifically, on the central nervous system.
The nicotine found in tobacco smoke, or in the vapor from a vaporizer, can reach the brain in as little as eight seconds after being inhaled into the lungs. From there, it may act as the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, due to their resemblance in structure. Nicotine may manipulate specific receptors allowing it to control muscle movement, memory, respiration, and other functions.
Behavioral Augmentation
According to a study published by the National Library of Medicine, smoking's effect on the central nervous system is considered to be neuro-regulatory. It affects biochemical and physiological functions in a way that is akin to behaviors associated with drug use. The strata of norepinephrine and epinephrine rises, while the bioavailability of dopamine is further modified. In the midst of the neuroendocrine effects, beta-endorphin, arginine vasopressin, cortisol, and adrenocorticotropic hormone are also released. Of these neurochemicals, a diverse few are psychoactive and therefore can adjust behavior.
According to Medscape, "Nicotine stimulates neuronal firing directly by acting at the binding sites or indirectly by causing the release of acetylcholine or monoaminergic neurotransmitters (such as dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin). Nicotine can thus affect HPA function through a variety of paths."
In the short-term, demands associated with cognitive functions or mental awareness may be augmented by the intake of nicotine, which is something that the best vapes aim to do. However, these effects are short-lived, and the damage is far-reaching. In the study previously mentioned, nicotine replacement therapies, such as nicotine gum, nicotine patches, and other nicotine replacement products that are in current use have a "slower onset of action, resulting in less reinforcement value." It asserts that current data concludes that smoking cessation rates can be increased by customizing the nicotine doses according to the specific needs and degree of nicotine dependence. It also suggests that NRTs should be used in accordance with behavioral modification methods.
Publishing Findings/General Education
As neuroscientists find more causations, relationships, and links between neurological defects and tobacco smoke, there becomes a greater need for immediate publication. In pursuit of advancements in medicine, science, and available treatments for those who may be suffering from neurological effects directly linked to smoking, the need becomes all the greater for these publications to make these findings available mainstream. Although information can be obtained through research, many do not know what they are looking for, how to find it, or that they should be looking for it to begin with. Making this information readily available to the general public is urged.

Lilypichu – Bio, Wiki, Age, Height, Boyfriend, Brother, Is She Dating Anyone?
Like most popular internet celebrities, Lilypichu is one of those Twitch streamers who spend their lives on camera. From daydreaming about the possibility of becoming a full-time professional streamer, she grew to live out her dreams on the popular live streaming platform where people play games, make crafts, and showcase their day-to-day activities.
Given the rise of popular influencers like Lily on platforms such as YouTube and Twitch, many now nurture the idea of launching a streaming career and being online influencers. More so, thanks to the fact that it has become quite easy to live stream on various social media platforms as people are now increasingly encouraged to share and watch live stories.
Lilypichu was born and named Lily Ki on 20th November 1991 in the United States. Though born in the US, Lily is of Korean descent and holds tightly to those roots. Details regarding her early life and family are a bit sketchy. Nonetheless, we do know that her parents discovered her music flair quite early and enrolled her for piano lessons during her toddler years. More so, there are no confirmed details of Lily's academic endeavours but she is believed to have dropped out of high school.
Lily kicked off her internet career on YouTube. She joined the platform in March 2006 and began posting piano covers, songs, vlogs, and various gameplay including the League of Legends (LOL). She soon made a name/brand for herself and also amassed a huge following on YouTube with no less than 1.6 million subscribers.
Quite early in her career, Lily switched from YouTube to Twitch though she still posts videos regularly on the former platform. On Twitch where she has over 600K followers, the video game streamer mostly entertains her audience with the multiplayer online game, League Of Legends (LOL). She also dishes primary and advanced pieces of information regarding the game on the platform. More so, the YouTube star who has a sonorous voice shares a parody of songs, as well as her lifestyle which is majorly inspired by the Japanese and Korean cultures.

Other than her gaming broadcast, the internet celebrity who is fond of watching anime and reading mangas also shares her favourite animes on Twitch. The self-proclaimed anime fan describes anime characters as very dear to her and as the sources of strength and inspiration in her life. Besides YouTube and Twitch, Lily also has a huge following on other social media platforms including Twitter and Instagram.
Lilypichu is obviously more comfortable leaving full details about her family shrouded in secrecy. Nonetheless, she has made a few facts public knowledge. According to Lily, she owes her success as a popular career streamer to her parents who encouraged and supported her to successfully pursue her dream. While it remains uncertain if her parents are still alive, we do know that she lost her grandmum in December 2016, as disclosed on her blog. She also revealed that both of her paternal grandparents are now dead.
More so, Lily has a younger brother named Daniel but it is unknown if she has other siblings. According to the internet celebrity, she and Daniel were greatly loved by their grandma and paid her frequent visits while she was alive.
Boyfriend, Is She Dating Anyone?
Though Lily may be secretive about certain details about her life, she is relatively open about her love life. It is no secret that she is dating fellow YouTube star, Albert Chang. Also of Korean descent and a graduate of Pomona College, Albert is a musician, as well as a professional violinist. Lily's boyfriend is also the video editor of Freelance Film Production in Greater Los Angeles. Just like the saying 'like minds attract', Lilypichu and Albert share common gaming and anime interests and are also both heavily active on YouTube.
The couple who met on social media have been together for a while and have been seen together on various internet platforms including Twitch streams and on Instagram.
While Lilypichu is not one of the tallest career streamers you know, she is also probably not the shortest you may ever know. Lily stands at a height of 5 feet 3 inches, (1.6 m).

Q: MVC Shared Layout Parameter to Logoff I use a shared layout and I am trying to pass the current location to the logoff method, but I'm not sure how to do it.  I've tried: Request.Url.OriginalString, Request.Url.Scheme and in the logoff method the parameter type I put the parameter type as string but it isn't working.  Anyone have any idea?
Log Off Button on my layout page
Sign Out</span

public ActionResult LogOff(string url)
    {
        var local = Convert.ToBoolean(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["local"]);
        if (local)
        {
            FormsAuthentication.SignOut();
        }
        else
        {
            CasAuthentication.SingleSignOut();
        }

        Session.Clear();
        return to Redirect("Some Method","Some Controller");//I want the user to just return to whatever page they were just on when they clicked log off
    }

A: You can use Request.Url.AbsoluteUri to get the absolute URL of the current page.
Then you can use this overload of @Url.Action method which takes a RouteValueDictionary object as third parameter to build the route params / querystrings.
public virtual string Action (string actionName,
                              string controllerName,
                              RouteValueDictionary routeValues);

So your view code will be

    Sign Out

This will basically generate the anhcor tag with the href attribute value set to /Account/Logogg?url={yourCurrentPageUrl}, where {yourCurrentPageUrl} will be replaced with your current page URL.
Now in your action method you can use the Redirect method  with this aboslute URL value which will be available in your url parameter.
public ActionResult LogOff(string url)
{
    // Your existing logic

    return Redirect(url);
}


I used about a pint or so of water, approximately 1.5 to 1.8 ounces carrot fiber, a bit less than half of the seasoning pack, and cellulos casing.
I stuffed the casings and tried to twist. The twists came undone when I cut the hot dogs to the length I wanted.
I followed the reccomended smoking schedule.
I got the internal temp up to 136 but it didn't go higher. Could be my thermometer. I am going to try a blue tooth thermometer next time if I can get it to work with voice over on the iphone.
When the temp wouldn't rise I eventually removed the hot dogs from the smoker. WHen I went to place them on a pan, the meat came out of the casing. The texture was dry and crumbly.
in conclusion I have a few questions.
Why did the temp not rise or did it and my thermometer not pick it up?
Why did the casing not stay swisted and closed?
Since the casing didn't stay closed could this be the reason the product was dry?
Should I use a different casing like collagen?
I'd really like to find a good thermometer that works with blue tooth and voice over on an iphone but don't have the money to keep buying them to try them out.
Sorry for the long post it's really different for a person who has no sight because I can't be sure that the thermometer was working properly, I can't tell you what the product looked like. Thanks for patience and understanding and trying to assist.
@gerygaub I'm working on getting answers on why the product was crumbly, I don't think it had anything to do with the casings not staying twisted. When I have used Cellulose casings in the past I actually tied between each link, it took a while longer but it really helped everything stay where it was an gave me a nice skinless product in the end. I will have more of a response shortly.
@gerygaub We are checking into a few other things but from looking at your process the most likely culprits are not enough protein extraction during the mixing process which caused it to "fat out", meaning the fat all rendered out of the product during the smoking process. The other possibility is what you said before, that your thermometer was not working and that it got much hotter than it should have. Other than those two things your process looks correct.
Also being at 80-20 is okay but might want to push closer to 70-30.
You didn't use any encapsulated citric acid did you? That's the only other thing I can think of that would cause that.
I had a few other people look over your process and the consensus was that is sounds like it was either a mixing problem or the thermometer you were using failed and it ended up getting way over cooked. So try a new thermometer and try to make sure you get your product really sticky and tacky to ensure it has a good bind. If you try it again and have similar issues let us know!

The Vikings Ship in the British Museum
The Vikings were actually an ethnic group of people from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, who raided monasteries, towns, and churches for many reasons. Most of the places they attacked were located on coasts, as it was much easier to reach there. After docking their ships, the Vikings would cloud over the communities living in that place, loot and kill, and return quickly to their ships and disappear.
If you go for a British Museum Vikings tour, you would be able to see a 37-meter-long Vikings warship displayed in the museum. Nothing like this was ever unveiled in the UK. In fact, this is also the longest Vikings ship that was ever discovered. This ship is titled Roskilde 6, as it was uncovered from the banks of the river Roskilde fjord located in Denmark. The ship was excavated in 1997 when the works to renovate the Roskilde Viking Ship Museum were going on.
Royal Warship
Most of the timber used for creating the ship got decayed, but they were able to reassemble about 20 percent of the wood for the museum display. They assembled it in a stainless steel frame, which helped them to rebuild the shape and size of the original ship. It is estimated that the original ship was constructed by AD 1025 when the Viking Age was at its peak. This was the time when England, Denmark, Norway, and perhaps some areas of Sweden were unified in the reign of Cnut the Great.
The huge size of the ship and large quantity of resources used in building the ship suggests the ship to be a royal warship. The ship most probably associated with the wars that were fought by Emperor Cnut to prove his power over the relatively brief Empire of North Sea.
Vikings Exhibition
The warship has become a part of the Vikings Exhibition, which you could see during your British Museum Vikings tour. The awesome exhibition would give you an idea of who actually the Vikings were and about their huge cultural network. They had a large number of acquaintances from the Caspian Sea to North Atlantic, which was made during Vikings expansion from the homelands of Scandinavian.
You would also be able to see religious images, axes, and swords, treasures that were looted by the warlords, as well as flamboyant jewelry of made using gold and silver, kept near the huge warship display. The largest Vikings hoard ever to be discovered can also be seen in the exhibition.

"Judgment Day has come for Herbalife," said Michelle Celarier at New York. The Los Angeles–based seller of diet shakes, nutritional supplements, and other weight loss products last week agreed to pay $200 million in order to settle charges with the Federal Trade Commission, which stopped just short of labeling the business a flat-out pyramid scheme. The FTC, which has been investigating the multi-level marketing firm for the past two years, concluded that Herbalife "deceives" its more than 680,000 independent contractors in the U.S. by promising them they can quit their jobs and get rich quick by buying Herbalife products and reselling them to friends and acquaintances for a profit. "The truth is," said the FTC, "that the overwhelming majority of distributors...earn little or no money." More than half the distributors known as "sales leaders" make less than $5 a month, and many lose money. Those who do earn large sums make the bulk of their earnings from recruiting large numbers of new distributors, who are then required to purchase Herbalife products to sell.
Beyond its effect on Herbalife, this settlement ends a "Wall Street dogfight between two billionaire investors," said Matthew Goldstein and Alexandra Stevenson at The New York Times. Activist hedge funder Bill Ackman has for years lobbied regulators to crack down on Herbalife, famously shorting its stock by $1 billion in a bet that the company would be shut down for its "predatory" behavior. In response, famed investor Carl Icahn bought gobs of the company's stock, betting that it "would weather the regulatory scrutiny." At first glance, "it looks like Icahn came out on top," said Brooke Sutherland and Gillian Tan at Bloomberg. Herbalife shares jumped more than 20 percent after news broke that the FTC wouldn't be shutting down the firm completely. But Ackman "has reason to feel at least somewhat vindicated." Herbalife has agreed to completely revamp its business model — rewarding salespeople based on what they sell rather on how many people they recruit, with distributors having to prove with detailed records that 80 percent of their earnings come from retail sales.
"The FTC couldn't have been clearer that it thinks that Herbalife is a pyramid scheme, without actually using the words 'pyramid scheme,'" said Matt Levine, also at Bloomberg. So why did the regulator allow Herbalife to survive? The company's most believable defense may have been that many of its distributors aren't actually in it to make money, but to get discounts on Herbalife products for their own use. That could be true, but we'll see whether the company can continue to recruit new salespeople now that it's specifically barred from featuring "images of opulent mansions, private jets, and yachts" in its marketing materials. The rest of the multilevel marketing industry, including companies like USANA, Nu Skin, Amway, and Avon, has been watching warily, said Roger Parloff at Fortune. Already, the FTC is poised to issue new "guidance" for such companies based on this decision, perhaps including requirements to hand over records of sales. Herbalife may survive the new restrictions that have been imposed on it, but those same terms "would likely cripple, if not kill off, many of its competitors."
